3 3 5 5 tetramethylbenzidine (tmb)

Manufactured by Roche
Sourced in Germany

TMB is a chromogenic substrate used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to detect and quantify the presence of specific analytes in a sample. It undergoes a color change upon oxidation by the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP), which is commonly conjugated to antibodies or other detection reagents in ELISA protocols. The intensity of the resulting color change is proportional to the amount of the target analyte in the sample.

ELISA was performed similarly to our previous method for anti-DM mAbs [11 (link)]. For screening clones producing antibody against AG-GMBS-BSA, the wells in microtiter plates were coated with 100 μl of the AG-GMBS-BSA conjugate (10 μg/ml) for 60 min at 37°C and then blocked the protein binding sites with 1% skimmed milk for 30 min at room temperature (RT). The wells were then incubated with serially diluted antiserum or hybridoma culture supernatant for 90 min at 37°C, followed by goat anti-mouse IgG labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (whole IgG, diluted 1:1,000; Cappel, West Chester, PA, USA) for 60 min at 37°C. The amount of enzyme conjugate bound to each well was measured using 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Basel, Switzerland) as a substrate, and the absorbance at 450 nm was read with an automatic ELISA analyzer (ImmunoMini NJ-2300; Nalje Nunc Int. Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan).

Antibody (IgG) response of immunized mice was analyzed by ELISA assay. Briefly, purified rNS3 (3 μg/ml) was used as a captured molecule to coat 96-well polyvinyl chloride ELISA plates (Nunc, Denmark) for overnight at 4°C. After washing and blocking steps, wells were probed with optimum dilution of mice sera (1/1000 for total IgG), incubated for 1 hr, washed and further incubated with HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Sigma, Aldrich) as secondary antibody. Finally, by addition of TMB (Tetramethylbenzidine; Roche), color development was measured at 450 nm. IgG antibody subclasses were analyzed as mentioned above using goat anti-mouse IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b antibodies (Sigma, Aldrich) and rabbit anti-goat IgG-HRP conjugate (Sigma, Aldrich). Optimum dilutions of mice sera were determined to achieve measurable ELISA signals against the coated antigen 27 (link).

Sera from a previously characterized Zambian cohort of P. falciparum-infected patients were used in the study (16 , 23 (link)). The interaction between PMIF and CD74 was analyzed as previously described (20 (link), 24 (link)). Briefly, 96-well plate were coated with 26 ng/ml of recombinant CD74 ectodomain (aa 114–243) in PBS and incubated overnight at 4°C. After washing with PBS/0.1% Tween-20, the plate was blocked with Superblock reagent (Pierce) for 2 hours. Biotinylated recombinant PMIF (5ng/ml) was incubated for 45 min, with human serum (diluted 1:1000) from a previously described repository of healthy donors or subjects with uncomplicated or complicated malaria (16 ). After washing and incubating with Streptavidin-HRP (Roche), the peroxidase substrate is 3,3’−5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB, Roche) was added, and after 20 min incubation, the reaction was stopped with 1N H2SO4/HCl. The results were expressed as the percentage of binding in the presence versus the absence of serum.

The siRNA-transfected cells were harvested after 72 h and were washed twice with PBS. 1-2 Â 10 5 cells in a volume of 200 ml PBS were directly dissolved in 40 ml of 6x sample buffer (Mercaptoethanol, 6% SDS, 9% 2-375 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 48% glycerol, and 0.03% bromophenol blue) and incubated for 5 min at 95 C. 20 ml of each of the samples were loaded in each of the wells of a 15% SDS-PAGE gel. After electrophoresis at 120 mv for 1.5 h, the separated proteins were electrotransferred to a PVDF nitrocellulose membrane (Roche). Blocking was performed using a 1x Roche blocking buffer dissolved in PBS over a 4-h period at room temperature. The membrane was incubated with primary antibodies diluted 1/200 in TBST buffer and left overnight at a temperature of 8 C. Anti-p53 (2B2.68), anti-HPV16 E6 (C1P5), anti-HPV16 E7, RB (Rb1), FKHR (C-9), goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP, p21 (F-5) and GAPDH (A-3) monoclonal antibodies were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology Incorporation (Santa Cruz, CA). After washing with TBST buffer, the membrane was incubated with HRP secondary antibody in a dilution of 1/5000 for 1 h at 37 C. The membrane was washed three times with TBS buffer and incubated with TMB from Roche for 10 min at 37 C in a dark place. Western blot bands were quantified by imageJ software.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
